Serbia's time in the European Championships has come to an end, but it was a promising performance for Saša Lukić in his first Euro tournament.
Clinching a point in a 0-0 draw with Denmark was not enough to persist Serbia's dreams of reaching the knockout stages, finishing fourth in Group C.
It is the first time the country has reached the Euros since their reconstitution in 2003, having previously competed as the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
Battling hard in last night's draw against Denmark, Serbia managed to put the ball in the back of the net, but celebrations were short lived as the flag went up for offside.
Despite Serbia being unable to qualify for the Round of 16, it is hard to ignore Lukić’s impact on his home nation’s side.
Saša continues to look unfazed and focused on the big stage, playing in all three of Serbia's group games and racking up 212 minutes on the pitch.
Impressing against England in their tournament opener, Lukić became a mainstay in Serbia's starting Xl, playing 64 minutes in their 1-1 draw with Slovenia and 87 minutes against Denmark last night.
With the second highest pass accuracy in the Serbia team (95.7%), Saša showed his keen eye and clinical nature in midfield throughout the three games - something here at Fulham we have become accustomed to since he joined the Club in 2023.
His time with the national team may be over, but we are looking forward to Saša's return to Motspur Park next month for pre-season training.
